Philips has introduced a new set of wireless earbuds, which feature something quite unique, even if it’s not entirely new. These earbuds are named The Buds and they are part of the Moving Sound line of products that the company is set to release next quarter.

Design and Features

The Buds sport a closed-ear design with silicone tips designed to keep sound in while blocking out outside noise. Unlike the recently released Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, Philips chose a design that doesn’t have protruding stems. They come in a vibrant yellow that brings back 80s vibes, alongside neon pink and mint-colored silicone tips, all packaged in a round charging case.

Charging Case and Controls

The charging case has a touchscreen on the top, which shows information about media playback. Users can manage playback directly from the display. Additionally, the Philips Headphones app will likely offer more settings for customization.

Technical Specifications

On the technical side, The Buds provide hybrid active noise cancellation and are equipped with six microphones, three of which are AI mics for clear calls. With an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, the earbuds boast a total battery life of 42 hours (with ANC off) when used with the charging case.

According to What HI-Fi, The Buds are expected to be priced at €80 (around $93) upon launch. This price point is much lower than the JBL Tour Pro 3, which is currently selling on Amazon for $229.95, and also features a display on its charging case.
